Whole30 anyone?

My neuro suggested I try the whole30 diet to see if it would help my severe fatigue. I've done a lot of research and would LOVE to try it, but I was wondering if anybody has tried and completed the 30 days? What were the effects?

Not familiar with this diet. Is there a site to review? I have tried OMS, Dr. Wahl's paleo. Both with some success. I get lazy and let up on diet. I do feel much better now (less pain) when I stay gluten-free. Good luck

Just Google whole30. I think it'd the first link. There are books too. I read the books.

I went Paleo and have never felt better! I will look at whole30! I however am making this a lifestyle change not not a diet!

I just took a quick look at the whole30 programme and it seems like a good thing to start. I am doing the Wahl's protocol with some guidance from the OMS diet recommendations and there is a lot of overlap between these two and whole30.

Once I started changing my diet, my fatigue improved almost instantly so definitely try it out. Everybody is different and our bodies react to nutritional changes in different ways so you'll probably see what works best for you and can amend your diet until you've found the perfect way to feed yourself back to health. :)

I agree with marylin4342 that this should be a lifestyle change rather than just a 30 day diet. OMS and Wahl's both combine diet, wellbeing/mindfulness and exercise with very good results across the MS community globally.

Hope your fatigue improves soonest! Would be great to hear if you decide to go ahead and if you feel better with it.

It is supposed to be a lifestyle change. It's just 30 days completely cutting stuff out to see what you can tolerate and incorporate into your diet.

It is definitely a lifestyle change for sure. After the 30 days, you try adding in just a pop, or just a cream in your coffee, and spread it out to see what your body tolerates. I'm definitely going to try it!
